Passing: Steelers announcer Myron Cope (AP)
From The Associated Press through the LA Times:
From the Associated Press, February 27, 2008
Myron Cope, the screechy-voiced football announcer whose colorful catch phrases and twirling Terrible Towel became symbols of the Pittsburgh Steelers during an unrivaled 35 seasons in the broadcast booth, has died. He was 79.
Cope's tenure from 1970 to 2004 as the color analyst on the Steelers' radio network is the longest in NFL history for a broadcaster with a single team and led to his induction into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 2005.
